You cannot remove this chip without a hot air station. If the Wi-Fi IC is shorted which does occur on the 6s you can scrape the top layer and find the short. I usually try this method before removing the IC. Remember if you replace this chip you will need to un-bind the Mac Address from the NAND or you will have no Wi-Fi.

if i find the short what do I do from there
@keith_themuscovyduck You remove the short. Sometimes it is a capacitor that can just be removed. Inside the Wi-Fi chip is a city of components. The short is usually located on the bottom left or right side of the IC
can i just use a razor blade to scrape off the top layer and is there any specific way your supposed to do it @imicrosoldering
@keith_themuscovyduck I use an exacto knife. You need to find which area is getting hot and gently scrape that area one layer at a time to reveal the faulty component. There should be a video somewhere on the internet about this procedure.
how do i seal it up when I'm finished @imicrosoldering
